I have decided to move my blog back to Blogger. I have been struggling with the what to do since they announced the acquisition of Posterous to Twitter. I truly hope they keep the Posterous site up and running (because I love it), but they have been plagued with problems in the last few weeks and no longer respond to help requests - not a good sign.
It has been a very difficult transition. Posterous does not allow for exporting. WordPress.com is supposed to import Posterous blogs, but I found it only pulled data from 2011 to present. Not sure what I will do with my posts that go back as far as 2009. Hopefully when Posterous does go under, they will provide us with a way to keep all of our data.
Initially I I thought I'd use WordPress.com, but I cannot stand their interface. It's clunky and does not consistently pull data from other sources - I had photos of all shapes and sizes and no idea how to get them the way I wanted without removing and re-uploading. No thank you! So, it's back to Blogger. I am still on the fence about self-hosting via WordPress and may go that way someday, but since I follow a lot of Blogger blogs, I thought this might be the easiest way to go. Seems funny to come full circle - I started my first blog on Blogger back in 2004.
I will likely continue to post here till it goes belly up, but will officially move to yf.yffoto.com. Please come visit me at my new home!

easter { take one }
Ahh Easter weekend. I drove down to Indiana for the weekend to hang with the Pittman crew. Three Easter egg hunts in a single day - now that's fun. I met up with the gang just in time for the second hunt at the Country Club. The kids got lots of candy and scooped it up at record speed. Impressive really!
Then it was over to Friendship Park for the egg drop - yes, 20,000 eggs dropped from a helicopter in the middle of the park for the kids to snap up. Now this was interesting. They did indeed drop eggs from a helicopter, but it took a very long time and it was just a few eggs at a time. The helicopter came back by four times to drop all of the eggs. And the heigh from which they were dropped meant the contents often spilled out or turned to mush. But, hey, it's all in good fun, right?
